Un mince vernis de réalité

Collectif

Michel Poivert, Céline Clanet, François Deladerrière, Géraldine Lay, Geoffroy Mathieu

4 photographers have chosen to combine their work after not having found a common theme or look, but a distance and a common acuity with which each one understands the world. A thin veneer of reality is constructed concurrently with the emergence of a new French photography in recent years. The willingness of these 4 photographers to present their work together resulted in a cross-interrogation of young writers on a whole field of contemporary photography. There is a profound silence in these photographs, which we eventually distinguish densities, intensities. It is perhaps then that we come into resonance with this silence.

Céline Clanet is the renowned photographer for the 2024 edition of our “Photography & Sciences” creative residency program in Toulouse.

Céline Clanet (born 1977), a graduate of the ENSP in Arles, focuses on remote or hidden places, wild landscapes, and their inhabitants. Since 2005, she has worked on European Arctic regions (“Máze,” Photolucida 2010, “Kola,” Loco 2018).

With a keen eye on the ecological impact of human actions and areas on the verge of transformation, she photographs places where friction occurs between the collapse of landmarks and the continuation of age-old values. She also explores the complex relationships we maintain with the animal world.

In 2023, her book Ground Noise (Actes Sud) was published, a work on the visible and invisible worlds of the forest, exhibited at the Rencontres d’Arles the same year. As the recipient of the “Grande commande photographique” from the BnF, she created Les Ilots Farouches, focusing on the most protected natural spaces in France left to evolve freely.

Her work, published and exhibited in Europe and abroad, is part of the collections of the BnF, CNAP, Neuflize OBC Collection, Société Française de Photographie, the Departmental Archives of Savoie, the Portland Art Museum (USA), and has been the subject of seven monographs.
